To all whbm it.

Be it known that` '1, Trroinas BLAIR, av

citizen o the United States, residing at Togo, in the county of Itasha and State of e Minnesota, `have invented certain new and useful improvements in an Ice-Making Machine, of which the following isa specica# tion.

The present invention relates to an ice- I makin device which is especially useful in cold c imates where the temperature goes below the freezin' point of water.

Another important object of this invention is to provide a devioe'which will be 20 extremely simple' and eiicient in construction, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, reliable in operation, and well a'dapted to the purpose for which it is designe With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and the combination and arrangement of will be hereinafter more -ully described and claimed. 4 d

in the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective of the assembled device,

Figure 2 is a perspective of the'inner receptacle, Y

.Figure 3 is a vertical section' through the deywice, and

. igure': is a lbottom plan view with the Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the device includes the outer receptacle 1 and the inner receptacle 2. The outer receptacle 1 is provided on its under it is supported. Upon one vertical side of the outer receptacle 1 .there is mounted a uper end.

The principal objectI o the invention is to pro-v arts as bottom of. the outer receptacle ybroken away..

side witha plurality of legs 3' upon which having a regulating valve 7 therein leads' handles 9 are provided adjacent the upper end of the outer'receptacle so that the same. may be moved from place to place as may be found necessary or desirable from time to time. lt is also to be noted that both the outer receptacle `1 and the vinner receptacle 2 taper toward their bottom ends.

'The inner receptacle 2 is provided with suitable handles 10 preferably of AU-shaped. construction having their terminals mounted soI as to revolve in eyes 11. Four spacing bars 12 are preferably provided on the exterior ofthe inner receptacle 2 and extend vintermediate the sides oi the side panels of the receptacle and meet centrally of the underside thereo. Each of these spacing rods is h-shaped in cross section and two of themA are rovided with notches 13 for receiving-the andlesl 10 when they are in a lhanging or inoperative position such' as is shown in Figure 2.

A drain cock 15 is situated in the bottom of the outer receptacle 1 and a duct i6 leads from .the bottom oinner receptacle 2.

The water to be frozenis placed in the receptacle 2 and exposed to the reezing temperature. When it isdesired to remove the .icefirom the receptacle 2, the burner 8 is lighted and the water in receptacle 1, which has been. placed therein, will be burner .is turned out if desired and receptacle 2 is placed therein so that the displacenient caused by the placing of the inner receptacle 2 in the outer receptacle .will cause the water to rise about the sides of the inner receptacle. whereby the heat from the water will be transferred to the rece tacle 2 melting the ice suiiiciently therein so that it may hef-readily removed therefrom with e? c y n The constrncton of my inventlon which l have described with4 some degree of partieu-I larity, relates to the preferred embodiment thereof and it is to be understood that numerous changes in form,-in the details of construction, and inthe combination and Iarrangement of parts .may be' resorted 'to Y without departing from vthe spirit of the in.- V-

vention as hereinafter claimed.

, Havingthus described my invention what I claim as new is:. y
